Goals in Droves

We extended our win streak to 5 with a high powered 9-4 victory over a new opponent, Our Kicks Don't Lie.  Strangest game I ever played.  It was quiet on the field.  We played with 10 at times, we had a new defensive set, we gave up 4 goals...yet we scored nine and never trailed.  Chris scored F-I-V-E goals, a shiny bounty.  Believe it or not, he's done that before!  Wow.

No really, I scored five times

We scored our first quickly and I am willing to cop a plea to being a bad teammate and failing to come into the game soon enough.  When we were still a man down, we gave up our first.  In fact, the whole first half our defense was just off.  Thankfully, theirs was non-existent.

The second half, we made some smart adjustments.  We played a tighter line in the back and got it together quickly, while still keeping the pressure in the offensive half.  Adrian played a great two-way game and ultimately came back unselfishly to mark their only threat.

Well done everyone.

Game balls go to Chris N. for an incredible goal scoring frenzy and to Percy, not just for his goal, but for his stellar play (accurate passes) and willingness to come help out.  Without him, the game may have turned out completely differently.  We didn't have a lot of bodies for this one.

On to the next challenge: DC Divided.  Big game.  More on that later.
